A recurring theme that stood out loud and clear was the general dissatisfaction with status effects, and we fully agree that they need attention.
Our designers got to work immediately, and I’d like to briefly share some of the improvements already being tested as part of the Lodestar program:

1. Shell Type Standardization
To better clarify how each tank is intended to be played, all shell data is now modified based on factors defined by the vehicle’s class. For example, shells used by Defenders are vastly different from those used by Snipers—meaning a Defender trying to mimic a Sniper will be highly ineffective.

On March 12, 2025, Wargaming registered the trademark “Cold War” with the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office).
Typically, trademarks are registered 9–15 months before the official release of a product.
Based on this, we can assume the following:

• The game may be released in the January–May 2026 window.
• The trademark currently lacks a product logo, which means either this document will be updated later, or another registration will follow.

In this version of Lodestar, we are focusing on changes and updates to game modes that were previously tested in Lodestar #16.
1. Changes to Game Modes
Kill Confirmed:
• The arena size has been increased. Based on your feedback, arena locations will no longer repeat during a match.
• The number of tags required for victory has been increased from 15 to 18, ensuring at least 4 rounds per match.

This playtest will focus on an experimental game mode inspired by fast-paced combat and the Kill Confirm mechanic, as well as the addition of three new game modes. A full patch note will be released later.
• The test, exclusive to program participants, will run from April 17 at 18:00 to April 21 at 09:00 (UTC+3).
In the latest patches, the developers have added a working “Replays” tab (we wrote about it a long time ago) and the ability to watch the replays themselves.
This section also allows you to view the entire history of battles played.
